State police are investigating the theft of 150 feet of copper grounding cable from a Met-Ed sub-station on Godfrey Ridge Road in Smithfield Township.

At about 3:45 a.m. on Saturday, someone used bolt cutters to cut locks off the gates and enter the substation, police said.

The actor then proceeded to cut about 150 feet of copper grounding cable off of multiple stations.

Met-Ed representatives said power would be re-routed through a separate station while repairs were made, police said. Anyone with information on this incident should contact state police in Swiftwater at 570-839-7701.
